God's Eternal Faithfulness to HIS People
Haggai 2:7b I will fill this temple with glory

(1978 October to October 2009)

The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts. "And in this place I will give peace", say the LORD of host.

In choosing to put GOD first, the little community had placed itself on the one path that led to the blessing GOD was eager to bestow.

Let us not be concerned because this church does not have gold and silver as Solomon's temple had [v8]. [v9] It shall have more glory than Solomon's. [Ecclesiastes 7:10] Say not thou that the former days were better than these. The encouragement given be strong and work, for I am with you.

Where CHRIST is, behold a greater than Solomon is there, so the heart in which he dwells, and makes a living temple, is more glorious than Solomon's temple and will be so to eternity.

GOD is asking His people to build a place for His glory to dwell. In Haggai's day, that building was a physical one. Today the 'building' is to take place in our hearts and lives both individually and cooperatively as the church. GOD desires to pour greater glory on and through His children so that the peoples of the Nations will come to JESUS, the Desire of All Nations. [v7].

Committee to the LORD to be a person in whom His glory can dwell and through whom His glory can be made manifest.

The Christian Cartoons With The Joyful Message





Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent ...and so very appropriate.


A Message by George Carlin:

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spent more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgement, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talked too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.
We conquered outer space but nor inner space.
We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted our soul.
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice..
We write more, but learn less.
We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.
These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and the a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember, to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak!
And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away.

Talking is something we all can do, but being pleasant takes real talent. ~ Clyde and Dee Kilough


Pleasant Tongues

All of us have experienced the comfort and soothing effect of kind and gentle words (Proverbs 25:11). Our teachers, parents, coaches, and friends have helped us from time to time. Remembering those pleasant moments is a key to developing the ability to passion wholesome and encouraging words to others. "A wholesome tongue is a free of life," says Proverbs 15:4.

You can be that tongue -- all of us an choose to think about the words we say and say how they affect others. The most marvelous thing is that this ability to choose is a great benefit for us too. The benefits that we give to others come back to us many times over.

Jeremiah 6:16 "Ask for the old path...."


New Church Order -

We are living in a world where more things seem to go worst. Crime rate is increasing. Sin and moral standards are not just coming down but collapsing, More destructive weapons are being invented that threatens the very existence of mankind.

New age concept is spreading like wild fire more in the West. They believe in creating new world order where joy and peace would prevail. They will not recognize JESUS CHRIST as the only LORD and SAVIOR of the world.

The modern church is swiftly drifting away from the old time standards of holiness and power that we read about in the BIBLE. Apostles in the BIBLE were dedicated and scarificial men of GOD who laboured hard for the KINGDOM of GOD to be established on this earth. Today's leaders want to build kingdoms around them, where their own names reign supreme.

The ancient apostles church took a bold stand against sin and righteouness and fought against worldliness creeping in to the CHURCH.

The early Christians turned the world upside down but today the world seem to be turning the CHURCH upside down.

The 21st century Christian Church is compromising with immoral practices of the world, so much so, divorce and remarriage seems to become the order of modern church.

Early Christians courageously stood up to defend the sanctity of the Christian family. Instead of sound doctrines of the BIBLE, the new church order preach to satisfy the needs of those with 'itching ears' [2 Timothy 4:4]. They preach what men like not what GOD wants.

Early Church spoke in tongues as the SPIRIT gave them utterance [Act 2:4]. But sad to say, today church order believers are taught to speak in tongues and how to prophect!.

The BIBLE says, Remove not the ancient landmark which the father have set [Proverbs 22:28].

Stolen Goose

Confessor: I have stolen a fat goose from a poultry yard!
Priest: That is very wrong.
Confessor: Would you like to accept it, Father?
Priest: Certainly not, return it to the man whom you stole it from.
Confessor: But I offered it to him and he won't have it.
Priest: In that case you can keep it yourself.
Confessor: Thank you, Father.

The Priest arrived home to find one of his geese had been stolen....

The right kind of praise is uplifting and special. Do we treat it as such?
Clyde and Dee Kilough


A Word Of Praise


An old politician once noted: "Praise is like perfume. It's okay to smell it as long as you don't swallow it." Politicians pour out praise for anything that will benefit themselves it seems - that is why it does not have much value. However, honest and heartfelt praise is the right thing to do when deserved. Children need to praise to build their confidence. Workers need praise and appreciation for the job well done. We all are encouraged and inspired when honest praise is given.

In the home, the BIBLE states that a husband should praise his wife [Proverbs 31:28] when she is deserving. It is a from of appreciation and gratitude. Ia also shows the value and worth we put in on others and their deeds. It encourages continually more similar actions.

and that will help you to grow in greater love for each other.

THE ETERNAL LIFE

JUST AS YOU ARE...

Just As I am without one plea,
But that Thy Blood was shed for me,
And that thou bidst me to come to Thee,
Oh Lamb Of GOD, I come, I come.

A NEW PERSON

Therefore, if any man be in CHRIST
he is a new creature.. ll Cor. 5:17

NEW LIFE

I can do all things through CHRIST
which strengtheneth me. Phil. 4:13

JESUS WEPT OVER IT

Christ must reach His church. He must convict our hearts of the arrogance and pride, the jealousy and divisions that has blinded our vision. We must be cleansed of these sins so Jesus can unite us against evil. [Luke 19:41] "And when He appraoched (Jerusalem), He saw the city and wept over it."

[1 Corinthians 3:3] If Jesus came today and look into His church in its carnality and division, and into our prayerlessness would tears flood His eyes over our city, even as He wept over Jerusalem?
Jesus longs to bring us to gather for prayer. He said [Luke 13:34] but you were not willing.

Hear Christ heartbeat. He said, "How often I wanted to gather your children together!"

Many a times He has called us to humble ourselves, turn from wicked ways and be united in prayer and allow Him to heal our land.

We the believing Christians, let us obey the Lord and join together for prayer.

Let Faith Assembly become a house of prayer [Mark 11:17].


Rev. Rachel (Senior Pastor)


THE ONE CONCERN OF THE DEVIL, etc.......

"The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray."Written by Sammuel Chadwick







An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him,

"How do you expect to get into Heaven?"

The boy thought it over and said,

"Well, I'll just run in and out, and in and out, and keep slamming the door until

St. Peter says "For Heaven's sake, Jimmy, come in or stay out!"

Our Beliefs

We believe there is one GOD, existing in three persons...
of the FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT...
each possessing all the fullness of GOD.

GOD created humans to have fellowship with HIM, but they rejected GOD
by sinfully going their own way.
As a result, everyone needs GOD's salvation.

We believe that salvation must be received personally by repentance
and through faith in JESUS CHRIST alone.
It is achieved by the shed blood of JESUS CHRIST
and regeneration by the HOLY SPIRIT.
Its purely the work of GOD's saving grace, not human effort.

We believe that JESUS CHRIST is GOD
Who lived a sinless life on earth through the virgin birth.
HE paid for our sins by dying on the cross as our substitute.
HE rose from the dead and is the only Mediator between us and GOD.
HE will return to earth in full power and glory to conclude history.

We believe that the HOLY SPIRIT is GOD Who draws sinners to CHRIST.
HE convicts us of sin and transforms us into new creations.
HE empowers and equips believers for personal growth and service to the church.
We believe in the practicing of the Gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT.

We believe that the church's role is to glorify GOD,
make disciples and serve those in need.
Every believer is a witness for JESUS CHRIST
while conversion is the work of the HOLT SPIRIT.

We believe that at the end, everyone will experience bodily resurrection and judgement.

Those forgiven through CHRIST will enjoy eternal fellowship with GOD in heaven.
Those who rejected GOD will be eternally separated from GOD's presence.

We believe that the BIBLE is the sole basis for our belief.
It is uniquely inspired, without error and the final authority
on all matters of faith and conduct.

The Providence of God [Philippians 4:10]

In this day of scientific achievement, we hear less and less about the providence of God. But the Word of God clearly teaches the providential workings of God in nature and in the lives of His people.

The story of Joseph and his brothers illustrates the meaning of providence [Genesis 37-50].

"God did send me before you to preserve life!" [Genesis 45:5]

But as for you, you thought evil......[Genesis 50:20].

This is the providence of God. His hand ruling and over-ruling in the affairs of life. Paul experienced this divine providence in his ministry and life [Romans 8:28].

God in His providence has caused the Church in Philippi to become concerned about Paul's needs and it come at the very time Paul needed their love most. They had been concerned, but they lack the opportunity to help. Many Christians today have the opportunities, but they lack the concern!.

Life is not a series of accidents, it is a series of opportunities.

"I will guide thee with my eyes". [Psalms 32:8]

Abraham called God Jehovah-Jireh (the Lord will see to it] [Genesis 22:14]

He goeth before His own sheep [John 10:4].

This is the providence of God, a wonderful source of contentment.

Rev.Rachel (Senior Pastor)

Quotable Quotes


Written by Amy Carmichael


Give me the love that leads the way, The Faith that nothing can dismay,
The hope no disappointments tire, The Passion that will burn like fire,
Let me not sink to be a clod: Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God.




Written by Charles Spurgeon


When you have no helpers, see your helpers in God.
When you have many helpers, see God in all your helpers.
When you have nothing but God, see all in God.
When you have everything, see God in everything.
Under all conditions, stay thy heart only on the Lord.


The Children Of Israel

"Right."
"An' the Children of Israel beat up the Phillistines, right?" "Er-right."

"Again you're right."
"An' the Children of Israel fought the 'gyptians', an' the Children of Israel fought the Romans, an' the Children of Israel wuz always doin' somethin' important, right?"
"All that is right, too," agreed Goldblatt. "So what's is your question?"
"What i wanna know is this," demanded Joey. "What wuz all the grown-ups doing?"

Happy Parents' Day Celebration



Family Verses

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
—Colossians 3:18-21


And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
—Philippians 1:9-11

JUNE 2009 BULLETIN

Wherever we look in modern society, we see division and rebellion.

Husbands and wives divorcing each other; children are rebelling against their parents. Men have tried education and every other approach, but nothing seems to work.

Paul's solution to the regenration - a new heart from God and a new submission to Christ and to one another. Paul saw in Christian home an illustration of the relationship between Christ and the Church.

God established marriage for many reasons. It meets man's emotional needs [Genesis 2:19]. It has a special purpose in the bearing of children to continue the human race [Genesis 1:28]. A physical purpose for marriage - the help fulfill the normal desires given them by God [1 Corinthians 6:1-3]

In Ephesians 5 shows also a spiritual purpose in marriage, as the husband and wife experience with each other the submission and the love of Christ [Ephesians 5:22-23]. Ephesians 6:1 Children ....

Obedience brings blessing [Ephesians 6:2b-3]. The Christian child who honors his parents can expect two blessings. It will bring long life and it will be well with.

Paul was stating a principal: when they obey their parents in The Lord. they will escape a good deal of sin and danger and thus avoid the things that could threaten or shorten their lives.

God enriches the life of the obedient child no matter how long he may live on earth. Sin always robs us; Obedience always enrich us.

Little Bobby was spending the weekend with his grandmother.
His grandmother decided to take him to the park on Saturday morning.
It has been snowing all night and everything was beautiful.
His grandmother remarked..."Doesn't it look like an artist painted this scenery? Did you know God painted this just for you?"
Bobby said, "Yes, God did it and he did it left handed."
This confused his granmother a bit, and she asked him
"What makes you said God did this with his left hand?"
"Well, "said Bobby, "we learned at Sunday School last week that Jesus sits on God's right hand!"
